All of my coats and capes are made one by one just for you. We will work together with your specifications and measurements and create your one of a kind Strévé Design dream coat.

We can set up an appointment in my boutique or if or geographical distance is a factor we can set up a Zoom meeting to discuss your ideas and formulate a design and discuss pricing options. Layaway options can be arranged at this time.
